THE TAXING DISTRICT GOVERN
MENT

Mr. Jerome Hill, oil 81. Louis, who
by comparison the result of expert.
eDce, knows the value OF our Taxing
District Government, IN recent inter-
view with an APPEAL reporter, ex-
pre- sed the hope that the people Of
Memphis would never surrender form
Of government to which they owe all o.
their present prosperity. Mr.. Hill
lives in city that, in common with
nearly all other American cities, has
suffered from misgovernment, and
kno wing Memphis from his boyhood,
familiar with its history, he felt it in.
cumbent upon him, as an old friend,
to wan his former fellow citizens
against ever, under any circumstances,
permitting eooroachment to be made
upon the Taxing District Government,
or allow 1t to be altered or abolished.
Mr.. Hills words were more opportune
than perhaps he dreamed Of. There
are no doubt personswho would like TO
see the Taxing District Government
broken down and help in the restora-
tion Of the old Board OF Mayor and
Aldermen. They would like to see
the present system OF rigid accounta-
b'lity swept away and the old
loose eystem with it's petty politics
and its ward bummers restored to their
status as "woIkers." But that change
will never come. The reasons that
moved MIR. Jerome Hill to lift warn
ing voice are governing reasons with
the people, and they will never sanc.
ton or psrmit change. They will
never surrender the Taxing District
Council and officers and the Law under
which these sct and voluntarily re-
turn to eystem by which, sill the taxes
collected, and nearly all the bonds is-
s1sd from 1857 to 1879, were "a nan

MEMPHIS APPEAL
FRIDAY MAY 10. 1887.
puKsIDENr CLEvELAND

Has q strong fund Of common sense to
draw upon and he does so at will
whenever opportunity offers. His
speech at the unwilling Of the Garfield
statue at Washington yesterday proves
his mastership in this direction aud
how easily he can advantage
himself Of a crest public oc.
cssion TO convey lesson to
he people. He makes the point
that the assassination OF Garfield was
the result Of taleiul and unnatural
methods 10 our politics, the mad chase
after partisan spolls, perversions and
misconceptions, which give birth to
passionate and bloody thoughts and
end in crime. That was the Lesson OF
the hour, and It is lesson that can
not be repeated too often.

BISHOP 0UINTARD,s sALARv

A resolution was Introduced In the
Diocesan (EpiscopaD Convention yes.
terday TO raise the bishops salary from
$500 to $4,000 per year. The fact that
matter Of 80 much importance has
been lett TO this late day Is scarcely
creditaole to church that represents
60 much OF the culture and intelli-
gence as well rs wealth OF Tennessee.
A well-to do mercantile house would |
not of,r capable bookkeeper less
than S2500 per year for his serv-
ices, and any financial mansger
oil experience can easily com.
mand twice that sum, Compare the
work that devolevs upon Bishop
Qlintard with that Of these, sad the
disparity is 80 great as to make the
failure of the members OF the Episco-
pal Church all the more glaripg.
While the faithful rectors of the
several parishes of the diocese
have been laboriDg within their own
paroehial limits, the Biehop, who is q
titeless worker and not as sparing Of
himself as his medica knowledge
would lead persons to suppose he
should be, directs the affairs OF the
whole diocese, suggests the extension
of its missions, the increase OF its
schools, the endowments OF Its great
university, which, next after Column
ba, in. New York, and Trinity, at
Hartford, is the educational institu.
ton of greatest value to the church
general. In and out of season the
Bishop must make his visitations, and
must be quick to see what is needed
10 keep the work committed to him
in perpetual motion. He carries the
weight and responsibility Of the whole
f Id, and yet is not paid as much as
the rector of Calvary, and he
does not receive near as much
as he deserves. II the 4C3l communi.
cauts oil the church, reported in 1885,
were 10 subscribe but 81 80 each per
snnum toward paying the Bishops
salary, the convention could today de-
Glaze IL to be hereafter, as it ought to
be, $4,000 Less than that sum should
not be rendered Bishop Quintard by
the wealthy congregations Of the
Safe. Looking at the matter from a
wholly worldly point Of view, he could
easily command twice that sum in the
practice Of medicine. A man of his
ability, Of the push and energy and
fidelity that have characterized him
is worth twice that sum, and had
he pursued the even tenor Of
his way in medicine might easily by
this time have been In receipt Of such
an iDcime from his professional earn
ipgs and the properly accumulated by
them. The position he occupies, tn,
demands msds upon hun as a con
sequence OF that position, the trave
taat devolves upon him in addition [,
TIA. required in puHuit of his diocesan
visitations, the necessity he Is un g
Of keeping open house" wherever h,
il, all speak loudly for an increase o
his salary to $4,000 per snnum. Tba

A TRUE STATEMENT

Suggs Dihtculty.

In the notice published last We'd
nesday, purporting to give the facts as
to the set emenI of the personal
troubles which had existed between
Mr.. M. O. Pssrce and Mr.. l. B. SuRgs
and Mr.. J. I. Petit, many inaccuracies
crept in, it being impo :sbe for the
reporter at the time to obtain cor
rect statement as to the blsis of settle'
ment sgreed to and signed by the par
ties in interest. 1t ia now developed
that 1t was not sgreed that the parties
should become reconcilej to each
other and become friends, but that
they should have no further inter.
course wba'ever, and should not carry
weapons in the future-in other
words, should act toward each other
rs II they had never known each
other, a complete agreement of non.
intercourse The committee who ST.
tied the difficu ty bad nothing to do
with reference to the cause OF the
trouble or the ssttleme at of the law
suit. The work Of the committee was
strictly confined to the settlement OF
the psrs )nal phase, OF the mat er, and
had nothing whatever to do with any
financial differences or litigations, pas,
present or future, be wesn the parties
c 5ncerned.

Goat meat, Indian corn cake, bana-

"Your next expedition to Africa
was"
SIN 1874. Three Englishmen accom-
panied me. | took the trouble to in
quire regarding their habits, to make
sure that they were temperate, having
already had sad experience with in
temperate men. We had in our stores
twelve bottles of pure brandy from
Zanzibar, on an expedition that might
have lasted from three to ten wears.
One was. broken and spilled and six
were consumed for medical purposes.
They were disposed of in this way.
One was given to the men suffering
from dysentery, two were consumed by
the white man, Pocock, who died of
typhoid fever; the stimulant kept him
up for two weeks; the youngest white
man Baker, got one bottle; he also died
The elder Pocock was then the only
white man left to me. In the course of
II year he and the colored people con-
sumed two bottles. At the end of two
years and nine months five bottles re-
NAMED. These we buried at Nyangwee
thinking that we might want them on
ourreturn, for we then did not know but
that, like other travellers, we might be
driven back by native hostilities. This,
however, was not our fortune, and we
continued the voyage down the river
Lualaba until we emerged on the At
lantic. The five bottles of brandy. for
aught | know, still remain where we
left them"
Ibid you drink any of the brandy?'

Eyes, save when in fever. Twas nine
months in the widest parts of Africa
without symptom of disease This
good fortune attribute to the increase
OF knowledge concerning health habits,
the indulgence in simple food, the bath,
and iudicious exercise"
"Did you sleep wellp"
until toward the end. The great
sense of responsibility disquieted
my mind, and | lost sixty-three pounds
in weight. When | started | weighed
one hundred and eighty pounds, when
returned was only one hundred and
seventeen. The nervous activity was
such that L could not sleep-no, not
even after | had paced for hours out
side the camp, in the hope of wooing
it by fatigue. "--Herald of Health.
